In Susqehanna, Harriet Segal created a mesmerizing tale of four generations of the Hillman family, portraying in rich detail the experience of immigration and assimilation, the loves and hopes of New World dreams and Old World traditions. Now, in CATCH THE WIND, a novel as colorful and moving as its illustrious predecessor, Segal continues the story through the lives of a young man and woman, two dedicated doctors, whose passion for their work is equaled only by their desire for each other. Set against the background of the World Health Organization's historic campaign to eradicate smallpox, scourge of the developing world, this faithfully researched saga is filled with adventure and drama.

This is the second book in the Susquehanna Trilogy. The novel almost wrote itself. I have never become so quickly engaged with characters as I did with Nicole and Drew. The vivd settings where their story unfolded became so real to me that I often had to take a deep breath to reenter real life. I used many of my experiences in living and traveling abroad in creating some of the scenarios in this novel. I am now writing the final book of the trilogy. (2012)
Nicole Légende, a beautiful and brilliant epidemiologist from Peru, becomes the first woman member of the United Nations' International Health Task Force. Assigned to rural health stations in India during the smallpox epidemic of '74, Nicole finds herself working side by side with Drew Tower...the American representative of the IHTF. Joined together in a common spiritual bond, the two fall deeply in love. But theirs is a love whose passion and strength will be tested by time and by tragedy. For when Nicole returns alone to her homeland...she suddenly is caught up in a hotbed of political turmoil and physical danger. And Drew, now a continent away, must desperately struggle to free her-and their very future-from perilous forces that seem beyond (their) control.... Sweeping from provincial Peru to rural India to the elegant boardrooms and bistros of Paris, CATCH THE WIND is a poignant and memorable saga of determination and destiny. But above all, it is the love story of two extraordinary people , who in their struggle to save the lives of otheers must, in turn, struggle to save their own.
